Sustainability

ECD Architects has been a pioneer in Sustainable Design for 40 years. Our objective is to design high quality sustainable buildings that have a positive impact on their community and their environment. Sustainability is integrated into our designs from concept through to completion, and we make sure this is reviewed with dedicated checklists at every RIBA work stage.

For all of our clients, we provide an initial, free-of-charge, Passivhaus Analysis at feasibility stage to enable them to make an informed choice.

We have a team of qualified Passivhaus Designers, both in London and Glasgow, who have great experience in designing ultra-low-energy holistic buildings that respond to their context, are economical to run and provide healthy indoor environments.

To meet the UK carbon reduction commitments for 2020 and 2050, building owners will be required to upgrade their buildings to meet an increasingly stringent set of energy performance requirements. The EnerPHit standard offers a very clear methodology on how to achieve these requirements on refurbished buildings.
